Product information "Vincent van Gogh: Picture 'Church of Auvers-sur-Oise' (1890), framed"
Vincent van Gogh's seventy-day stay at L'Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-sur-Oise was to be an incredibly intense creative period. Van Gogh created around eighty paintings during this time, including some of his famous cypress paintings. Van Gogh visited the doctor and art lover Paul-Ferdinand Gachet in the village, a good thirty kilometres from Paris. Gachet was well acquainted with the Parisian artists of the time and seemed to his brother Theo to be able to treat his mental illness. Ultimately, however, he was unable to prevent the 37-year-old from dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on 29 July 1890. His last paintings are strongly coloured and characterised by emotional forms - thus paving the way for the Fauves and Expressionism. 'Church of Auvers-sur-Oise': The early Gothic church with its Romanesque chapels is one of Vincent van Gogh's last motifs. It looms monumentally against the empty, dark blue sky. Not correct in perspective, but for its own sake. It stands at a fork in the road. Original: oil on canvas. Musée d'Orsay, Paris. Brilliant reproduction in fine art giclée process, artist's canvas, 100% cotton, on stretcher. In handcrafted golden real wood frame. Limited edition of 499 copies, with numbering and certificate on the reverse. Exclusively at ars mundi. Format 62 x 78 cm.
